    Accommodation

    It is vital that you fix your accommodation arrangements if you are going to New Zealand as an international student before leaving your country of residence. There are many options available for students that will suit their budget and style. There are hostels otherwise known as halls of residence, homestays, or independent accommodation (flats) that a student can choose from.

    Living Expenses

    Living cost depends on the lifestyle and the choice of accommodation. If you wish to pick better quality accommodation and have weekend trips, you should be prepared for a budget of around NZ$15,000 or more per year. In addition to insurance and the tuition fees, a student would need close to NZ$ 400 to NZ$ 500 per week for expenses that include accommodation or rent, food expenses, transport, phone charges, use of internet and entertainment.

    Health Insurance Expenses

    It is compulsory for all international students travelling to New Zealand to equip themselves with medical insurance before the start of the academic program. The health insurance is applicable only as the program is ongoing and ceases when the program is completed. This is usually arranged by the college/university. In cases where the college may not offer health insurance, the students must arrange for private health insurance. On an average, insurance costs come up to NZ$200 to NZ$700 per annum.

    Taxes Involved

    New Zealand allows students to work part-time when the academic sessions are on and full time during vacations. However, students cannot take up work without procuring a number from the Internal Revenue Department (IRD No.). With this number, students can work for up to 20 hours/week part-time and full time during vacations. Any student who earns money along with their studies is liable to pay taxes.
